Todd: Gallstones. What exactly are gallstones?
Barbara: Well, next to your stomach, there is an organ called the gallbladder and the job of this organ is to hold some liquid which comes out of your liver and this liquid stays in your gallbladder and is saved for when it%27 needed, and when you eat something that contains fat or oil, the bile from the gallbladder is squirted out and goes into, perhaps your stomach or your intestine. I%27m not sure which, and there it does something to help you to ____________________ with the oil. Perhaps it binds with the oil or makes it easier for your body to get rid of it – to eliminate it.

Tom: What%27s it like on the red bus?
Martin: Almost the opposite. Probably I imagine the cost is the same but this busses are much bigger and I don%27t know if they are newer but they seem a little more comfortable, almost like a tour bus and they end up being very, very crowded which is very different than it sounds on your bus by the time they get up here. Usually when I get on the bus, I%27m standing all the way up the mountain so it%27s really not very comfortable to ride on those even though they have the tour bus comfy seats but it%27s a pretty quick route --about 15 minutes up here.
Tom: Oh, that is fast. That sounds like it%27s faster than the blue bus but I heard the drivers are pretty fast.
Martin: Sometimes the drivers can be very nice and ____________________ and sometimes the drivers act like your not really there.

Simon: Yeah, I got a job interview coming up and I know they%27re gonna ask me about what are your strong points and your weak points. You know.

Like I really don%27t care about money, so I%27ll give my friends money or things that I have, cause I just don%27t care about that. Um, so that%27s probably my strong point. My weak points are I am very late all the time. I%27m late to work. I%27m late to meet my friends. I%27m late when I have appointments, and I am always late, so that is probably my number one bad point, and um, I%27m, and sometimes I%27m a little selfish. I want things my way, and only my way.
